Thread: name the artist and song

  1. #1

    Default name the artist and song

    dude 1 "sure God's all powerful, but does he have lips?"
    dude 2 "whoooooooa"


    this should be extremely difficult to get unless you happen to be a fan of the artist and or happen to like this song. but the artist has been played on commercial radio so it shouldn't have be a complete stab in the dark.
    indeed

    Why, it's Alice in Chains with God Am.

    I don't really like them, but a friend of mine's a big fan, and listens to a lot of their stuff while I'm around him.

    So I watch and I wait
    And I pray for an awnser
    An end to the strife and the world's misery
    But the end never came
    And we're digging the graves
    And we're loading the guns for the kill

    Gogogogog! Artist and song and no cheating.

    Punky's lips, punky's lips
    His hair's so shiny,
    I love his hips!
    I love his teeth and his gums and such!
    Punky
    (what is it? you come home!)
    You're an angel!
    You're too much
    (oh god!)

    The boys of my thoughts in my lonely teenage room!

    He's been havin' a rash
    (no shit!)
    That keeps the girls away
    (it's true)
    Skin doom
    (skin doom)
    Is what the doctors say
    And that makes me wonder
    I wonder what punky is rehearsing today
    I'll just go over, and hear him play
    His hair is so pretty...i'd like to bite his neck
    I've heard a rumor he's more fluid than jeff beck
    But i ain't queer
    I ain't gay

    gawain's is "punky's whips" by zappa, that's easy peezy

    the others, no clue , though JAGs is probably an iron maiden song judging from his posts in the "what are you listening to now" and "stone v beatles v floyd" threads

    me me me me me!!! it's a hard one, good luck!!

    i said you wanna be startin' somethin'

    Only for a Zappa fan

    The (he's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay)
    A wrist array-ee-ay at the end gives it away as well as the constant mention of Ounky. I also poted half the song I cant help myself I just love Zappas lyrics not to mention the music. Maybe the most underated guitarist ever.

    yeah, zappa doesn't get enough credit for his guitar work, not only is he under-rated, but he was the most talented guitarist in rock history!! imo anyway. i know it's kinda clichéd by now, but anyone who doubts me should be forced to listen to various performances of "inca roads" for a week. i mean how many guitar solos have inspired whole album releases? (a serious question, i doubt the "shut up n' play yer guitar" albums are unique in that respect)

    as for punky's whips, all of the parentheticals immediately identify it away as a zappa song, for anyone in the know.

    new lyrics!! (although my last post is still unanswered!) and this one is actually hard, unlike the last one. hint, it's the whole song!

    can you feel the wind
    of venus on your skin?
    can you taste the crush
    of a sunset's dying blush?

    stars will always hang
    in summer's bleeding fangs.

    can you feel the rings
    of saturn on your finger?
    can you taste the ghosts
    who shed their creaking hosts?

    but seas forever boil;
    trees will turn to soil.

    stars will always hang
    in summer's bleeding fangs.
    seas forever boil.
    trees will turn to soil.

    Met up with the ghost from the past
    Who said...
    I can't slow down, my minds moving too fast
    And I don't like the things I'm thinking
    I said brother, try to relax
    It takes time for things to pass
    He said fine and then he threw me out the door

    guess that, you non-aussie or kiwi friends.

    Right, I'll do one-fairly easy.

    Queen of light took her bow
    And then she turned to go,
    The prince of peace embraced the gloom
    And walked the night alone.
    Oh, dance in the dark of night,
    Sing to the morn - ing light.
    The dark lord rides in force tonight
    And time will tell us all.
    Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
    Rest not to lock your homes.
    Side by side we wait the might
    Of the darkest of them all.

    Try this:
    So cold that you cannot cope
    With a frozen heart
    I guess we blow apart
    I guessed it from the start

    Stay in shadow
    I’ll run this world out
    Stay in shadow
    It’s running out of time
    Stay in shadow
    I want to watch it drown
    Stay in this now

    Don’t say because you can’t
    Say what we should have been
    Don’t show what I resent
    Don’t know cause I forget

    So cruel to be so blind
    Darkness was on my side
    Now that you’ve come and gone
    I know where I belong

    Black then white are all
    I see in my infancy
    Red and yellow then came to be
    Reaching out to me
    Lets me see
    As below, so above and beyond
    I imagine
    Drawn beyond the lines of reason
    Push the envelope
    Watch it bend
    Over thinking, over analysing
    Separates the body from the mind
    Withering my intuition
    Missing opportunities
    And I must feed my will
    To feel my moment
    Drawing way outside the lines

    Guess this and you will earn my gratitude.

    Regrets,
    I've had afew
    but then again
    too few to mention
    I did
    what I had to do
    and i saw it through
    without exemption
    I planned
    each charetered course
    each careful step
    along the by-way
    and more
    much more then this
    I did it my way

    Er Capo could that possibly be ... My way?! :p Even I could get that, bit easy

    No one could get mine, oh dear. It was Face in the Sand by Iron Maiden. I shall now post a very easy one and if no one gets it I will cry.

    You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
    You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
    So when you're waiting for the next attack
    You'd better stand there's no turning back.

    The bugle sounds and the charge begins
    But on this battlefield no one wins
    The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
    As I plunge on into certain death.

    The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
    The mighty roar of the Russian guns
    And as we race towards the human wall
    The screams of pain as my comrades fall

    We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
    And the Russians fire another round
    We get so near yet so far away
    We won't live to fight another day.

    We get so close near enough to fight
    When a Russian gets me in his sights
    He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
    A burst of rounds take my horse below.

    And as I lay there gazing at the sky
    My body's numb and my throat is dry
    And as I lay forgotten and alone
    Without a tear I draw my parting groan
    Very, VERY, easy, cmon lads!
